The Case Against Adnan Syed

Family and friends of Adnan Syed, serving a life sentence for the murder of 18-year-old Hae Min Lee, recall the couple's high-school romance, their emotional breakup, and the events that led to Syed's arrest; Syed's family prepares for his appeal.

As Syed's appeal for a new trial gets underway, supporters look back at the 1999 confession of his friend Jay Wilds, who claimed he helped Syed bury Lee's body and whose testimony is called into question years later.

With Syed's 2016 post-conviction hearing for appeal drawing to a close, figures in the case reflect on issues raised by the original trial; attorney Susan Simpson and others probe lingering questions around the state's case against Syed.

Despite being granted a new trial, Adnan Syed and his attorneys contend with the state's repeated appeals; private investigators grapple with outstanding questions as they reanalyze the forensic evidence surrounding Hae Min Lee's death.
